FPSNA Award Programs and Sponsored Competitions |
| For FPS Registered Fell Ponies Sponsored by FPSNA, Inc. |
FPSNA is pleased to offer our annual Performance Premium and Awards Program (PPA), designed to encourage participation by our members and their Fell ponies throughout a wide range of activities all across North America. The program is mirrored from similar award opportunities, namely the Fell Pony Society (FPS) Performance Premium Awards Scheme, and also after the US Equestrian Foundation’s Horse of The Year Awards, as well as incorporating features of our original Pony Points Program. We hope that our awards program will continue to help promote the Fell Pony in North America, and also encourage our members to find more opportunities to go out and have fun with their ponies!

| The Edinburgh Prize for DrivingInstituted by His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh“To be awarded internationally to a single or multiple turnout |
Prior to his passing, a new award was presented by His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh via the Fell Pony Society UK (FPS). There will be 25 Edinburgh Prizes, one to be awarded each year from 2014 onward. The Fell Pony Society Council is thrilled to inform all ‘whips’ internationally of this opportunity, as North American drivers are eligible to compete for this prestigious honor.
All participating members must complete a form indicating their events over the course of the year (similar to the Performance Awards form), with relevant signatures confirming their achievements.
All ponies must be FPS registered Fell Ponies, and the owner or the driver must be a member of The Fell Pony Society, or a member of an FPS-recognized Overseas Branch (including Fell Pony Society of North America, Inc.).”
